The result of the move request was: Moved. (non-admin closure) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:51, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

– Fixes WP:COMMONNAME of various persons. German footballers name doesn't have diacritic on the "i", the futsal players common name is Bebe. Moves reflect convention for footballers. Refer to external links and references. Ortizesp (talk) 14:02, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose move for Rafael García Doblas per WP:NATURALDIS, "an alternative name that the subject is also commonly called in English reliable sources, albeit not as commonly as the preferred-but-ambiguous title". ESPN for example uses this name. S.A. Julio (talk) 18:02, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ESPN does use the name, but without the diacritic "i". And I'd say it's a pretty obscure use, as none of the references and external links currently on his page use both his last names, nor do most references for him in general.--Ortizesp (talk) 18:41, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
